"A Little War"

Image #5, April 1995 ($1.95)

Poem:
"A town once went to wage a war
and no one knew what it was for.
It's purpose was, they could not see
To bolster popularity.
Their king, you see, kept them enslaved
And didn't get the love he craved.
But rather than to mend his way
He sent his men into the fray.
He picked a foe so weak and still
His chance for loss was truely nil.
Als, they made one error large
By putting our boy Groo in charge."

Moral:
"He who revels in being bigger forgets that he is the larger target."
